OK, the fog is lifting...
Regarding the Multi IR :-
"If you want ME IR you need to then do a partial IR flight test in the Multi"
however, the IR is taken after PPL in a S/E. So do you need to take another IR test when you do the Multi add-on?
Regarding the Multi CPL add-on :-
"USA : PPL -IR CPL SE- CPL ME add on"
This add-on training and test seems to be the bit that will give you both a Multi CPL and Multi IR. So must the CPL S/E be done first so as to 'add-on' or can a CPL Multi be done instead?
Thanks again
